HEALTH ALERT!
It's no joke! It is endemic to the area and that means extremely prevelant. The campground is in a wooded area and there are brushy areas near the showsite. Deer ticks are exceedingly small and You Will Not See Them on your dog. Lyme disease can be deadly. Please use appropriate tick preventatives on your dog and examine both dogs and humans carefully for ticks!
Q: What is Dingo Bingo?
A: Dingo Bingo is a great stress reliever and, by far, the most lively social event of the specialty! The Dingo in Dingo Bingo gives a whole new meaning to the traditional game played in church basements. Dingo Bingo is played like the traditional game, except winners shout out, “Dingo” and all the prizes are dog related
This is an important fund raising event for the ACDCA, so we encourage everyone to come play for the fun and prizes, and to donate items. Prizes are donated by vendors, individuals and various local merchants.

Q: When will premiums be out?
A: Usually they appear in the mailbox in late June or July; but this year we are dealing wih totally new-to-us superintendents and it could vary. As soon as electronic versions of entries, premiums, and other forms are available, they will be posted here http://acdca2008.com/forms.html
Q: Could you please email more information about the various classes that offer prize money at the fall show, and also what the eligibility requirements for entry are? Many thanks!
A: The only classes that have cash prize money are sweepstakes classes; which are non-regular classes; meaning you get no points from winnning anything in these classes. The requirements are age; your dog must be 6 months or over; and under 21 months of age. The dog must also be AKC registered; and in order to enter Sweepstakes, you also must enter a regular class at the Specialty; again in your age group.
Conformation classes at a specialty are divided into non-regular and regular classes. Non-regular classes are those in which competition does not lead to AKC championship points which are Sweeps.
I suggest that you read the this information about dog shows:
